For those predisposed to gory pics, here's one of the right side of the block showing where the #5 broken rod knocked a hole in the block. The broken rod did the same to the left side of the block as well as the oil pan and the impact/jolt caused the cast cam bracket to also break above #5. The folks at the local independent M-B place say they've never seen a 617 engine do this. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
